settlement. KPKT as the leading Ministry has been organising this celebration
since 1986. This year, the World Habitat Day celebration is celebrated with the
theme 'Housing Policies: Affordable Homes'.
The theme was chosen following the UN record which states that 1.6 billion
people in the worlds do not have the perfect place to live. World Habitat Day

importance of developing a comfortable and conducive human settlement;
raising public awareness that every human being has the right to have a place
of shelter; and reminds all communities that they are responsible for shaping
the future of their homes and cities.
